Meek's Cutoff

Description

Five weeks in to what was supposed to be a two week trip, three Oregon-bound families are low on supplies and, more importantly, water, and begin to suspect that their guide, Stephen Meek, may have misled them when he promised them a shortcut. Unfortunately, their only other option for help is a Cayuse man who they’ve taken prisoner and they have to decide which runs deeper: their suspicions of Meek or their mistrust of this "strange savage" who could lead them to their gruesome end at the hands of his people.
